What is now a peepshow was in past ages a habitation and a home. In it the soil in successive layers has revealed objects belonging to successive periods in the history of mankind.
He stared with narrowed lids into the flame of his quiet friendly candle. Every trace, every shred of portrait and memoir were gone. Once more, deliberately, punctiliously, he examined page by page the blurred and unfamiliar French the sooty heads, the long, lean noses, the baggy eyes passing like figures in a peepshow one by one under his hand to the last fragmentary and dexterously mended leaf.
For I know that this life of ours is but a series of illusions, where we stand like children at a peepshow in a fair, beholding pictures which we mistake for real things. So that I say that he who falsely thinks himself beloved is just as well off for that time as he who really is beloved.
He felt tired again, yet he knew he could not sleep. The bed was repulsive to him. He sat in his chair at the open door, moving uneasily. What should have been sleep was an ache and a restlessness. He turned and twisted in his chair. 'Where is Helena? he asked himself, and he looked out on the morning. Everything out of doors was unreal, like a show, like a peepshow.
She went out of the room, walking more quickly than she usually walked, and holding herself very upright. Lord Holme followed, forming the words of his favourite song with his lips, and screwing up his eyes as if he were looking at an improper peepshow. When they were in the electric brougham, which spun along with scarcely any noise, he began: "I say, Vi, how long've you known Miss Schley?"
STEPHEN: To have or not to have that is the question. ZOE: Here. This isn't a musical peepshow. And don't you smash that piano. Who's paying here? Madam, excuse me. If you allow me. Dans ce bordel ou tenons nostre état. Give her your blessing for me. She has it. It's ten shillings here. Zoe bends over the table. Kitty leans over Zoe's neck. My foot's asleep. What, eleven? A riddle! KITTY: Wait.
In an instant and with no sense of absurdity I wanted in the intervals of love and fine thinking to fling about that strenuously virtuous couple; I wanted to kick Keyhole of the PEEPSHOW into the gutter and make a common massacre of all the prosperous rascaldom that makes a trade and rule of virtue. I can still feel that transition.
Louise had promised to spend the evening at the Perritons, and did so; but she returned to Cap'n Abe's store early and did not invite her escort in, although he was a youth eager to taste the novelty of being intimate with "one of these old Cape Codders," as he expressed it. "No," she told young Malcolm Standish firmly. "Uncle Amazon is not to be made a peepshow of by the idle rich of The Beaches.
"Let's go up in the clerestory," she said. "We can see that, anyway." "Also closed, miss," said the policeman, shaking his head. "No admittance there, neither. The public firmly warned off so to speak. 'I won't have the Cathedral turned into a peepshow! that's precisely what I heard the Dean say with my own ears. So closed!"
At the weekly conference one of the Sisters acknowledged that if she passed a troop of mountebanks or a peepshow, the desire to look was so strong upon her that she could only resist it by pressing her crucifix to her heart and repeating, "O Jesus, Thou art worth it all." One day Vincent appeared among them in great joy.
